Helly guys,

first of all I'm introducing myself. My name ist Marcel, I am 21 years old and I'm studying "Electrical Engineering" in Aachen.

I started poker about two and a half years ago. Since then I had some good and some bad times as all regular poker players. Due to personal reasons I had to cashout my bankroll. Now I decided to start again. So I made a 100$ deposit at Partypoker. I am playing NL5 FR.

I hope some of you are interested in my poker carreer and I get some feedback . I also planned to record a video but I'm running "Windows XP" in a virtual machine under linux so everytime I start recording my pointer is invisible what makes it impossible to play poker.

It's time to write down what happened in the last couple of days. I didn't reach my goal to play 10.00 hands due to a MTT Session yesterday on PokerStars. I also tried to play some 3$ SnG's but I don't really like these kamikaze speed SnG's and the rake is unbeatable. But I played about 8.000 hands and the kind of downswing (also bad play included) finally ended today. Here are my stats:

PokerTracker stats:

PokerGrapher graph:

I also changed my table layout to get a "clearer" look:

I posted a lot of hands in the forum (and also in the german because you can just post about 15 hands a day or so) and analysed my game. I think my biggest leak is that I'm doing too many "moves" probably because I played a lot of NL25 and NL50 SH before and the lower limits are too fishy to outplay someone. I'm trying hard to change that but I hope I can get up the limits as fast as possible to play NL25 SH again.

Goals till sunday:

- play about 15.000 hands total
- post as many interesting hands as possible (some in german, some here)
- watch some videos and visit some of the coachings
